Farm, George Hi there. Was George Farm a School janitor at an all girls school In Edinburgh in the 80’s? Was sure I met him there although I can’t remember if this is true as I was young at the time. Seem to recall my Grandad introducing me to him but can’t remember if it’s true or not.

Farm, George I believe he went to play for Queen of the South when he left Blackpool. And that his style of catching a ball top and bottom was considered unusual.
